The Tragedy of Elie Wiesel. Not!

There are times when you open up The New York Times and read about a something that is so touching, so sad, so despairing that you pause for a moment. Today was not one of those mornings.

The Times reported that noted fraud Elie Wiesel lost his life savings in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. His wife also invested with Madoff and lost everything as well. The Elie Wiesel charity lost $15.2 million from Madoff, which constituted nearly all if not all of its budget. The charity though have not been shut down.

Wiesel, in his typically obnoxious sanctimonious style, went on about his tragedy last night. So sad, boo hoo.

“This was a personal tragedy where we discovered all of a sudden what we had done in 40 years — my books, my lectures, everything — was gone."

Wizzel went on about one of his meeting with Madoff: "“We must have spoken about ethics. Some learn, and some don’t.” Do you see how full of himself this guy is? He thinks he's some sort of walking-wisdom-dispensing-machine.

So, why am I happy that such a calamity has befallen Wiesel? Because Wiesel is one of the biggest unsubtle frauds in America. This is a guy so talks a good game about standing up for justice, standing up for the suffering, standing up for those who have been silenced, but this fraud has never meet an Israeli killing of Palestinians which he did not endorse. He routinely provides cover for Israel, often cynically playing on the memory of the Holocaust.

It's not that he's just pro-Zionist. It's that he has no sympathy for Palestinians whatsoever. Prior to Israel's uprooting of illegal settlements in Gaza; 8,000 Jews lived on over 20% of the land the Israeli army took an additional 20%. This while 1.5 million Palestinians were crammed into just 60% of the thin Gaza Stripe, making Gaza by far the most densely-populated region in the world. But while Israel was removing its fanatical settlers, Wiesel would have had the world feel sympathy not for the occupied and oppressed Palestinians, but for the colonizing Israelis. Israelis live in luxury as Palestinians squalor in destitution in their shadows, and this Zionist supremacist would have us feel sorry for the occupier than the occupied. He wrote then:

"The images of the evacuation itself are heart-rending. Some of them are unbearable. Angry men, crying women. Children, led away on foot or in the arms of soldiers who are sobbing themselves.

Let's not forget: these men and women lived in Gaza for 38 years. Successive governments, from the left and the right, encouraged them to settle there. In the eyes of their families, they were pioneers, whose idealism was to be celebrated.

And here they are, obliged to uproot themselves, to take their holy and precious belongings, their memories and their prayers, their dreams and their dead, to go off in search of a bed to sleep in, a table to eat on, a new home, a future among strangers."

Those Israeli settlers where pushing Palestinians off their land. It wasn't enough for the Zionist state to have 78% of Palestine, but they wanted more and more land. These people were immoral colonizers and Wiesel makes them out to be idealists. He wants us to feel sorry for "angry men" and "crying women." These men and women were paid handsomely by their government to leave their homes and they also had brand news homes built for them to move into. Do you know what happens to Palestinians who have their homes demolished to make way for illegal Israeli settlers? They're not given any compensation or new homes, they're simply left in the rubble. But, Wiesel has never said anything about them. That's because people like Wiesel are Jewish supremacists who only care about those within the tribe. They cannot see victims if those victims are not Jewish. Not only. Using the Holocaust they seek to monopolize victimization exclusively to Jews. Once when asked why he - Wiesel - never criticized Israeli brutality of Palestinians, he responded "I cannot say bad things about Jews." A true humanitarian would not allow ethnic considerations to get in the way of justice and truth. But Wizzle is just a shill for Zionism.

He adds this in his disgusting op-ed: "In the tradition I claim, the Jew is ordered by King Solomon "not to rejoice when the enemy falls." I don't know whether the Koran suggests the same." What is Wiesel saying in this paragraph? That the Jewish people are simply superior to everyone else, especially Muslims. Right before this paragraph he writes that Palestinians are actually happy that Israel settlers are leaving. He has the temerity to suggest that Palestinians should mourn Israel settlers who have taken their land. If he feels that way, then he should establish a memorial to SS Guards. But Wiesel then adds that unlike those uncouth Arabs, the Jews are a superior people with superior values, they do not "rejoice when the enemy falls." He then follows with a swipe against Islam by falsely implying that Islam is an un-compassionate faith as opposed to Judaism. What the whole of that line but to seek to attack Islam with a bigoted brush? He wants to sneakily attack the faith. And, for the record, most Israelis do "rejoice when the enemy falls." They chant "Death to the Arabs" and dance on the "Hill of Shame." The Palestinians have every right to rejoice and should rejoice as the enemy Israel falls back further and further into oblivion. And I join in that joy.

People who are selfish and selective in their compassion like Wiesel deserve no sympathy when the tide turns against them.
